S3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI engine
TFSI technology unlocks superior power, more dynamic performance and better economy from petrol engines.
For example, the turbocharged 2.0-litre TFSI engine in the Audi S3 Sportback generates a staggering 265PS of power which is enough to blast from 0 to 62mph in just 5.8 seconds and up to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.
You'll notice enhanced driving enjoyment with spontaneous and dynamic torque build up. In turn, this encourages you to change up earlier so you don't feel the need to rev the engine so much, promoting greater efficiency.
This impressive technology hasn't gone unnoticed. The 2.0 litre version of the TFSI engine has been voted "International Engine of the Year" by a panel of 64 motoring journalists from over 30 countries. They cited it as "A blend of performance and efficiency. An example to all engine manufacturers."
Harmonising power and efficiency
Of course, the S3 is built for driving pleasure and sporty performance. The power's always there when you want it. But Vorsprung durch Technik also means Audi is committed to economy and low emissions.
The Audi S3 Sportback's 2.0-litre TFSI engine has been developed to get the most from every drop of petrol. And then we add the Driver's Information System. One of its many functions is to suggest the optimal time to change gear and if you follow its advice, you'll develop a much more economical driving style.

A proud racing pedigree
Over 70 years of successful competitive motor racing, we've learnt a lot about building high-performance, class-leading cars. But the knowledge we've built on the track doesn't just stay there; a surprising amount of thoroughbred racing technology finds its way into our production cars. From the ergonomic design of the cockpit to the power of the engine, there's racing pedigree in every Audi.
